Hi Folks

This is an updated version of my method to skip those NON-SKIPPABLE ads (eg the Indiaplaza stuff which comes before the movie in DEI DVDs)...

This method has been tested for APEX DVD Players.. If you report it for other DVD players please do post it here. It will benefit us all.

1.) Wait till the DVD has been loaded and the DISC_LOADING stuff comes up..Wait till that screen disappears

2.) You will start getting the FBI warning and stuf....Normally u would press ur DVD menu button (in this case it would be DVD_DIGEST button) and go to the Chapter selction menu. However if you have the non-skippable ads you cannot do this...

3.) Now in your APEX DVD remote you will see a button called PBC (Play back Control)..Press that once....It will switch off the Playback Control. By this we mean that you can now see a screen which lists the VBO files in the DVD and also other information. ( I dunno how this can be reached for other DVD players)

4.) Now once you are in this screen press the SKIP forward button once... and you will see some activity and come back to the same screen. By doing this you have actually skipped the Ads !

5.) Now press the PBC button again and you come back to the original Blue screen..with the words PBC ON on it.

6.) Now press the DVD MENU ( in this case the DVD DIGEST) button and Voila ! you are in the Menu page of the DVD...and thus you have skipped all those ads etc.


So next time if you see some unskippable ads...dont grumble, just innovate

First update..u cant do that with ur Toshiba SD-6109C...

I am presuming you can do that with any DVD player that allows you programmable DVD playback.... so guys please check it out on ur DVD player
